Description
View of the three main sections of the Theatre in Ephesus, Turkey. "Like all the other ancient theaters, the Theatre consisted of three main sections: the skene (stage building), the orchestra (place of action for the actors), and the cavea (auditorium) where the audience sat. The skene which was approximately 18 metres high, was the most imposing section of the Theatre. The facade of the structure which faced the audience was three-tiered and had columns,"--Ephesus Ruins and Museum by Selahattin Erdemgil, NET Turistik Yayinlar, 1986.
